Remember in the 90s all the big hoopala over playing the Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon while watching the Wizard of Oz. Oooooh…there were so many things that were said in the lyrics that corresponded to scenes in the movie. It HAD to be on purpose!

Of course, it wasn’t…or so THEY say. But VE investigators getting bored with their normal assignments got distracted on this concept and came up with this other startling revelation:

If you play Dark Side of the Moon at the same time you watch West Side Story you too will discover these amazing coincidences:

- The main characters are actually breathing at the exact same time the song Breathe plays

- If you skip 47 minutes into the film at the same time you play the song Speak to Me, you’ll see them sing the words “I’ve always been mad” at the very same time the Jets are staring at the camera and smacking their fist into their other hand.

- The lyrics “kicking away on a piece of land in your home town” coincide exactly with the Jets being on their turf (ignore the fact that the whole movie plays on their turf…)

- No matter where you synch the album up with the movie, the words from the song Time that sing “The time is gone, the song is over, Thought I'd something more to say” always synch up with the end of a song and dance routine in the movie!

- On the song Us and Them it always synchs up with a shot of the Jets and the Sharks just as Pink Floyd sings “Us, us, us, us, us and them, them, them, them, them…”

- By fiddling with the movie for hours you can synch up exactly so that Riff whips out his switchblade knife right exactly as Roger Waters sings “You raise the blade, you make the change” from Brain Damage.

Perhaps next time your investigators should investigate many of the heavy metal songs of the 80's that people would play backwards to get subliminal messages. It's funny how people will find what they are looking for, no matter what!

Like the story today of the woman who found Jesus on the cross on some Cheeto or Frito. Retard!

Speaking of The Wizard Oz, this Sunday, over at Yahoo's The Judy Garland Experience, we will be having a big Oz blowout featuring all sorts of odd and rare WOZ based audio treats. If you are a fan of Judy's or Oz it will definitely be worth your while to check it out.Here is the link:http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/thejudygarlandexperience/

I can't listen to Pink Floyd without having acid flashbacks and i can't watch Westside Story without singing in Spanish, both of which are totally weird since I never dropped acid and i don't speak Spanish.

jeff - Who's asking? Who wants to know? Why are you following me? Are you saying I have an obsession? Ha ha. Actually, I was trying to make it work with some other movies but that one just fit the best.

teri - It's just the kind of nonsense you'd expect here, isn't it? It's great to have a blog where the maturity level, expectations, and importance are all set at zero! Nowhere to go but up (were I motivated enough).

nessa - Maybe you had a Spanish coffee once with acid in it! My Spanish language skills consist of "chalupa". Pretty impressive, huh?

A friend of mine synchronized the pink floyd / wizard thing for me in surround sound, and I really was amazed at how it matched up. But I could hardly think they did it intentionally. Who has the time?

What was is no longer what is

Back in the day when people blogged, I kept track of everyone that bothered to comment. Of course, nobody blogs anymore (okay, the couple of you that still do, you're like the "Road Warrior") so I have removed the blog roll sections.
